That sucks so bad. Do you think maybe there's a natural herbal remedy you can try to give you more energy?
I dunno, I'm not sure anything can override the fact that my metabolism is totally screwed. But any suggestions will be gratefully received and i shall try them.
Disclaimer - if you are taking medications and under the care of a doctor, you should discuss with your doctor, as even herbal remedies can have interactions or decrease the effectiveness of medications.
Have you ever heard of or tried Ginseng? There are North American versions and Asian versions, which are said to have different properties. I take medication that causes drowsiness and I have found that Ginseng improves my energy level. There are many conflicting studies as to the effects, so I read up on it quite a bit before taking it. Because it is a herbal remedy it cannot be patented, so there is little incentive for large scale, quality studies. I take a Chinese Ginseng which is said to aid recovery from weakness after illness, stimulate the body, improve energy, etc.
Just thought I'd share in case you were interested.
Hope you feel better soon!
